City of Brookhaven considers creating walking trail to help fight health issues

Brookhaven aldermen have begun considering a proposed five-mile walking trail intended to support physical and mental health and help prevent obesity and suicide. Family practitioner Dr. William Hay presented the idea at a Nov. 3 board meeting, suggesting a route through wooded public land with limited impact on nearby driveways. The proposal is at an early stage, and city officials have not approved construction.
